Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane on Frasier.

Allen Kelsey Grammer (born February 20, 1955) is an American actor, director, and writer.

Personal life and professional career

Grammer, who came to public attention in the classic TV sitcom Cheers, was able to successfully spin off his character Dr. Frasier Crane into a television series in its own right, named Frasier. Grammer has won a number of Emmys and Golden Globes for his work in Frasier.

Grammer has been married three times. His first marriage to dance instructor, Doreen Alderman spanned eight years, from 1982 to 1990 and produced one child, a daughter named Spencer. His second marriage to stripper Leigh-Anne Csuhany lasted but one year (1992 - 1993). Since August of 1997, Grammer has been married to Camille Donatacci, a former MTV dancer. They have a son and a daughter together via a surrogate mother. Grammer has one additional child, a girl, Greer, who he had with hair and makeup stylist Barrie Buckner in 1992.

Grammer's life has been marked by tragedy and, as a result, occasional depression and substance abuse. In 1968, his father was murdered in the Virgin Islands; in 1975, his sister was raped and murdered after leaving a Red Lobster restaurant in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and in 1980, his twin half-brothers were killed in a shark attack. Bravely putting his personal tragedies behind him, Grammer currently seems to be optimistic and happy with his third wife and child.

Grammer's trademark smooth, deep voice makes him popular for voiceover work. He provides the voice of Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons, produces the UPN sitcom, Girlfriends, and worked as the voice of "Stinky Pete the Prospector" in Toy Story 2. Grammer sang the title theme for the Frasier TV Series.

Politics

In September of 2003, Grammer expressed an interest in running for the U.S. Senate from California during an appearance on Hannity & Colmes. While remaining vague about his particular political beliefs, he said he would likely run as a Republican, though he says he's not conservative. "I consider myself a centrist, I suppose, but I basically believe in trying to preserve as much opportunity for the individual, as long as that individual chooses to work as hard as he can."
